ILM's 2018 End of Year Tracks & Albums Poll / VOTING THREAD

let's say you have an hour left to vote?

dunno if that helps anyone

Definitely helped - voted!

Sorry for waiting til the last minute :/

get on with it! haha

ok so having put together a singles list in post pub haste last night I awoke late this morning with a start and the realisation that I had somehow omitted my #2 track. I have resubmitted a tracks ballot, although I have no confidence that it matches my previous ballot, if you could see to it that my previous terrible error was corrected then my partner's scorn and disdain for my morning ballot panic will have all have been worth it

'ffs ogmor it's the big garden birdwatch'

I can confirm the results are bonkers, also there’s a huge song that I thought was a top 20 contender and it is not even in the top 77.

My initial guess was something featuring Dua Lipa or off the Black Panther soundtrack but on reflection probably the most likely outcome is ILM giving the hard 78 to 'This Is America'.

Kicking myself for having forgotten to vote for Homerton B.

Le voting est terminé!

Come back Monday for trax rollout

any cryptic forewarnings?

I was so far from understanding my own tracks ballot I gave it up and only submitted an album ballot. Rockist scum that I am.

Aww, I'm sure your tracks ballot could have helped a few things I like, lol

I worry that I've become so suggestible in this regard that I need to see people's ballots before the rollout.

Trying to piece it together from the noms thread is just too bewildering.

Maybe interesting: voter #s by year

https://i.imgur.com/kuiIrul.jpg

We're down from the peak of a few years ago (155 album ballots in 2013!) but holding steady.

nice to see things are slightly up from last year at least

man 2013 was regrettable

and with that I declare the great EOY beef open

Ugh my work got busy and I never got to sneak away to do my ballot. I hope it's not my fault nothing good gets 78'd. Buzzing for the results and thanks again to you guys running this!

Also maybe interesting: top 10 normalised by #voters that year. People were really enthusiastic in 2012!

2012 Todd Terje - Inspector Norse 14.08
2012 Carly Rae Jepsen - Call Me Maybe 12.84
2012 Miguel - Adorn 11.65
2016 Rae Sremmurd - Black Beatles 10.46
2015 Grimes - Realiti (Demo) 9.83
2011 Azealia Banks ft. Lazy Jay - 212 9.03
2014 Tinashe ft. Schoolboy Q - 2 on 9.02
2011 Lana Del Rey - Video Games 9.0
2010 Girl Unit - Wut 8.81
2011 Nicki Minaj - Super Bass 8.3

there's no way daft punk are going to do anywhere near as well when the 10's poll comes around right? all the RAM hype feels bizarre looking back

voted for the first time ever after reading the poll results religously for fifteen (!) years

just dipped my toe in the water with an unranked albums list, which I had to recreate after forgetting to copy my first attempt off my work computer

good luck ilm

ufo, have you heard get lucky? song of the summer

Same for albums:

2012 Miguel - Kaleidoscope Dream 15.4
2015 Kendrick Lamar - To Pimp A Butterfly 14.99
2014 D'Angelo and the Vanguard - Black Messiah 14.72
2015 Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs 13.78
2016 KING - We Are KING 13.68
2015 Carly Rae Jepsen - Emotion 13.38
2016 A Tribe Called Quest - We Got It from Here... Thank You 4 Your Service 13.2
2016 David Bowie - Blackstar 12.96
2015 Grimes - Art Angels 11.98
2013 Haim - Days Are Gone 11.56

2012 again! Miguel also claimed the largest-ever winning margin:

1 Miguel - Kaleidoscope Dream 1909 51 7
2 Kendrick Lamar - good kid, m.A.A.d city 1293 40 5

man 2016 was such an amazing year

seandalai btw, will u b open to assist me in running the 2000-09 poll say this summer

i will b

After all my write-ins I still forgot about one of the best songs I heard last year, because I forgot to write it down.

that is excellent news sean, ty

commiserations emil.y i hope i voted for it instead or something

get lucky was a weird hit but i'll absolutely still rep for it

It wasn't nominated! I was reminded of it last night during a youtube binge, kicking myself b/c this is top 5 material for me, for sure.

The track in question is 'Thou' by White Boy Scream

xp to imago, obv

Any chance I could still submit my ballot?? I’ve had it basically ready for over a week but got caught up working really late last night and forgot to send it in

just joshing with you johnny fever; i'm happy to maintain the naming for searchability and legacy use.

any thoughts about including the embedded official youtube with each song? Is that gonna slow down thread loading too much? What do people think?

forgot to vote for albums. top 6 woulda been parquet courts, arctic monkeys, amen dunes, kacey musgraves, blood orange in some order

any thoughts about including the embedded official youtube with each song? Is that gonna slow down thread loading too much? What do people think?

no embeds pls

beautiful images and commentary only

could we get a ruling about no shit music?

Non-embedded YT links would be fine I think?

Yeah, YouTube mini links still don't embed on ilx, so that's what I've used for years.

I submitted my ballot hours ago and already I have massive regrets!!

No-one will give a shit what I think, but I wish we'd do this year-end poll in March/April.

man 2013 was regrettable

and with that I declare the great EOY beef open

― imago, Saturday, January 26, 2019 6:18 AM (eleven hours ago)

I still like listening to Days Are Gone!

I wish we'd do the end of year poll on January first. Also wish we voted for what we listened to in that year instead of what other people listened to and told us about after the year ended. But that ship has sailed many years ago.

Voting for metal poll is now live:

The 2018 ILX Metal n' Heavy Rock Poll VOTING + CAMPAIGNING thread! Ballots due Saturday, Feb. 2nd!

the closest thing to a good new order single last year was krystal klear - neutron dance

NOT TRUE. i know i am responding to a two-week-old post, the nominations are over and no one cares, but neutron dance is boring af and the lauer track "power" is an actually fun and engaging new order knock-off:

surprised that album didn't get nommed
